Really hard to find as clean.... 1970 Original vinyl pressing in gatefold poster cover ....

Marc Bolan parted ways with partner Steve Took and hired Mickey Finn to play bongos, as well shortening the duo's name to "T.REX", with future visions in the mind, the dynamic BOLAN had laid his blue print for ultra stardom, a level he knew he could ultimately reach....

At the urging of famed UK producer Tony Visconti and others, the duo then shortened its name to T. Rex. The self-titled album released in late 1970 is a logical bridge between A Beard Of Stars, and Electric Warrior, but it the two. The first seven tracks sound similar to those of the last two albums, with a bit more electricity; "The Visit" and "Diamond Meadows" are the best of these. But on "Beltane Walk", Bolan and Finn begin to sound like T. Rex as we know them. The second half of the album provided further hints of what was to come. "One Inch Rock" and "Suneye" would fit in well on a later T. Rex album. If you want to hear Bolan play with his most reckless abandon, he goes over the top on "The Wizard". For whatever reason, the less-than-one-minute "Children Of Rarn" opens and closes the album. T. Rex completed Bolan's transition from acoustic cult figure to electric glam rocker. Soon after the album's release, the duo added a bassist and a drummer and recorded Electric Warrior, and the rest, as they say, is history.
